Happy Birthday.... Miss Lillie
Today marks the 75th BIRTHDAY of my grandmother, LILLIE BELLE BAXTER....
probably the only woman on Earth that has made way for who I have become today- Her sensitivity, temperance, and her unmerited love for her family and children.
Family has always been her main focus. To keep us as close-knit as possible. She struggles still to this day to shape and mold her children- First by introducing us into the saviour and Lord God, Jesus Christ. Her message to all, "We can do nothing without Him".
Next, she creates an atmosphere whether its about perfection or imperfection, that all are welcomed in her home and family. She does not sugar coat anything- what you see is what you get.
Finally, she is a true best friend. Whenever I need to talk or laugh or cry, she is always a phone call anyway.
Being her 7th born grandchild, I can stand on truth to say that we are "prayer partners" and you will almost never see me without her, whether on Sunday morning in church or out shopping. She keeps me "Alive in her spirit realm".
I salute this day to my grandmother. Her Strength, Courage and Wisdom.
